yeah more of a 451 really.
They are all essentially the same formation, its more about the personnel and tactics. And tonight Ricki needs to be given credit where it is due.
Regardless of whether it was forced on him - he did it all right tonight. I was rather negative after last week, but if we continue with 3 central mids then I am optimistic
Alright assuming Steiny is back from injury for this Saturday do we reckon he'll be put straight back into the starting line-up? Or will Ricki stay will his winning 11?

Yeah I was thinking benching Fenton. Really hasn't provided much since his debut (although he isn't the only one) and might benefit from a stint on the bench, give him a bit of a kick.

Stein has been improving every game under Merrick and I think last night was the culmination of great coaching and hard work on his behalf. I think we really must re-sign him now - otherwise we may find we lose him to another A-League club. I wouldn't be surprised if Roar came in for him if they can't hold onto Berisha.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
Agree about the passion he shows! Always such vigorous goal celebrations!
Oh, and for the chant, it is pronounced Stain, not Styne. From his own mouth...

Three for me, and two for them.
By the same reasoning, you'd probably tell everyone your name was not pronounced "negative prick" too... but what would you know?
A few videos of Stein on YouTube have foreign commentators saying it "styne". Just saying..
Sign Stein up now.
Seven goals he's top equal for A_League golden boot. The way he is playing he has a good shot at taking out the GB. Which would be great for him and the club.
Stein comes across as a cool guy. He interviews really well...he actually sounds intelligent, which is a change from lots of sports guys. But what I really like is his passion for the game. His goal scoring celebration was mint. Like the way he responds to the crowd as well. Nice to have a player with a bit of personality to go with their good footballing ability. Boyd put lots of his improvement down to be mentored by Stein.....good to see the senior guys helping the kids.
His trap and turn and shot for his goal against the Victory was top class.

I'll pronounce it "Cletus".
Do you prefix that with Theo?
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Ernie re-sign him now! With Berisha gone the Roar will surely be all over him for next season.
he's on Thursday FC tomorrow
ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH
Fair play to Stein. Prior to Xmas I was less than convinced but he has proved what a good player he is in the last few weeks and I'm happy to say I was wrong. And good to see the likes of Riera and Lia playing their roles so well - long may it continue!
Last year most people said he was a donkey, I maintained Ricki just didnt know how to incorporate him into his game plan, now what?
Now you can dance like your avatar and rejoice in being right!

Interesting bit in the last article is (thanks to google translate):
"In any case, the board of Wellington let me know last week that it would extend. My contract I am now waiting for their proposal."
"It may also interest comes from a club in Australia., The positive comments that I get the last few months, to be picked up there."
I could well understand why other Australian clubs would be interested in Stein. He is a very good player who is in excellent form. I never got the "Stein is crap" arguement. You don't get 16 caps for Belgium if you are not a very good player. He was not the only player who didn't fit into Rickies hoofball game plan.
Stein is 31....the club should give him at least a two year deal. Do it NOW Gareth!!!!!!!!
No, 31.
I hope he stays with us.Definitely an exciting player to watch.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Normo's coming home
He's also looked a lot better with Boyd up front for him making runs which give him more space. The Steyn/Brockie thing has never got going partly I think because Brockie has been guilty of only thinking about where the ball is going to end up, not about how it's going to get there
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Though Stein is in a rich vein of form I would still be on the neigh's for extending his contact.
age no right foot can't head for shit
is there any thing else I missed :-(
